Chapter 57 Good Things Brought by the Ancestors
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at the tent that suddenly appeared on the empty ground in front of them.
Lu Qing was very excited. He stood up with the help of a cane and staggered forward, almost falling. Lu Zhou, who was standing beside him, was startled and quickly reached out to help him.
"Father, please slow down!"
The Lu family members behind him couldn't help it either, and they all stood up and followed the old man to see.
The tent was set up very well. Lu Qing looked carefully and found that the tent he had in mind was not like this!
When he was young, he followed the late emperor to hunt every year. He had seen the guards setting up tents, which were very complicated and took half an hour to set up!
But the ancestor just opened it so lightly, and it was set up in the blink of an eye?
He tried to study it, but the workmanship looked very complicated and he really couldn't understand it.
Hearing what he was thinking, Gu Xingzhao smiled and said, "This is just for the sake of being light and easy to carry. In terms of material and structure, it is far inferior to the ones you use."
She has studied ancient tents. According to historical records, there was a set of Han Dynasty gilded bronze tents, which had 102 parts alone. It was very delicate and was used by ancient nobles. Its structure and materials were far superior to modern camping tents.
But in terms of portability, modern tents are better and not expensive. You can open them at night and fold them up during the day, and then you can go anywhere.
It would be great to give this thing to Lu Qing and the others right now.
Lu Qing thought that the ancestors were too modest. This thing was really the best!
Lu Zhou stared at it intently and reached out to touch it, repeatedly exclaiming, "Father, is this also a gift from the ancestors?"
"My son has never seen such a light tent!"
Song and Xu followed beside them, "That's great! With this thing, we don't have to get wet in the snow and wind at night!"
The Lu clan members were all very happy. "Our ancestors were so kind! In addition to food, they also provided shelter. This is a great treasure."
"What a pity there is only one." Someone sighed. There are only a limited number of people that can live in one house, and there are dozens of them.
Most people still have to suffer the cold outside.
While eating instant noodles, Lu Yang said happily, "Let the women and children live here. We men can resist the cold, and we have warm clothes given by our ancestors. What are we afraid of?"
He was wearing warm clothes and a down jacket, eating hot instant noodles, and even felt a little hot!
Others also echoed Lu Yang's words, "Second Master is right, we will just wait outside!"
Even if they can't live in this thing, their wife and children can, and they will be happy just looking at it!
At this moment, Gu Xingzhao teleported six more tents over, and with a "bang", they fell to the ground in front of everyone, scaring everyone.
"What is this?"
Lu Qing walked over and coughed twice, "The ancestors sent a few more people over. You guys come here, young ones, and I'll tell you to do it. Hold this thing up."
Lu Xingyao rolled up his sleeves, and the eyes of the tribesmen around him lit up, and they all volunteered to build the tent.
They also wanted to get a taste of what the gods had given them, maybe they could even get some good fortune!
Everyone was smiling happily, listening to what the old man said, slowly setting up the tent, standing it on the ground, and pulling the rope to nail it to the ground to prevent the tent from being blown away by the wind and snow.
It's just that this is my first time doing this thing, and I've never seen it before, so I need to figure it out carefully, and the specific operation is still a bit slow, but it's simple after all.
The Liu family members nearby also came over to help. Seeing the tent taking shape, they couldn't help but exclaim, "I have never seen such a light tent. It's really amazing!"
Lu Youtang and several younger ones entered the tent first. The cold wind and heavy snow were kept out, and the tent was warm. The boy lay inside and rolled around, laughing out loud.
The adults nearby were also happy when they saw this.
It was a joyous and lively scene.
In the dim light of the fire, the other prisoners not far away watched, their hearts filled with sourness.
Just now they smelled the fragrance of food. There was obviously no cooking utensils here. It was a desolate place within a ten-mile radius, and no one knew what the Lu family was eating. They were all greedy.
The more I thought about it, the more greedy I became, and tears of envy were almost flowing out of my mouth.
I don't understand why the Lu family is so lucky. A few decades ago, there was an old man who was a cabinet minister. He was extremely powerful and respected by the whole world. Now he has offended the emperor and his whole family has been exiled. Even the gods are rushing to send them things.
The Lu family has been hit by all the good things!
Some people secretly thought that the Lu family would not be so proud for long. They were so arrogant. Those officials were not so lucky. How could they be treated well? Was
n't it because Lu Qing was too proud after becoming a cabinet minister and dared to control even the emperor that he was exiled here?
And if the emperor knew about this, what good would happen to the Lu gang?
It was only a matter of time before the Lu family was wiped out.
Gu Xingzhao looked at the Lu family and laughed for a long time. Just a few tents made them so happy. The atmosphere of the New Year was really good, more lively than any previous New Year she had celebrated.
She took out a garbage bag and gloves from her pocket, stood up to clean up the instant noodle bucket and other garbage, thinking that although the old man is old, he still has a good learning ability and is much smarter than these young people. He can do it all just by watching her operate once.
It turns out that there are differences between people's minds.
At this time, Lu Xingyao successfully set up a tent by himself. Just as he was about to lie down inside to feel the good things sent by his ancestors, he was ordered by Lu Qing to deliver two tents to the officials while his butt was still wet.
The person next to him had already lain down and sighed comfortably, "I can finally have a good sleep tonight!"
As he said this, he gave Lu Xingyao a smug look.
Lu Xingyao's face turned black. He reluctantly picked up the two tents and walked away as his tribesmen watched him.
At this time, the officers noticed the Lu family's movements from afar. When they saw that they had even brought out the tents to live in, they felt uncomfortable and looked at Du Hangwu.
The little official curled his lips and said, "Boss, we don't even have a place to stay, so we're just going to let those people from the Lu family do whatever they want?"
Du Hangwu said nothing, but just looked at him twice more, "The god of the Lu family is very powerful, do you dare to provoke him?"
Mortals need to hold blades, but gods can kill countless people without using any weapons or blades. The Lu family is blessed by the gods, so anyone who is smart knows what to do.
The small official thought to himself, you are wearing the treasure sent by the Lu family, so naturally I won't provoke them. Earlier, he saw Du Hangwu secretly eating the things sent by the Lu family.
However, he only dared to complain about these things in his heart and did not dare to say them out loud, for fear of ending up like Li Si.
The officers watched helplessly as the Lu family set up tents one after another and moved in. They felt that the wind tonight was exceptionally cold and the snow was extremely heavy, which made them shiver with cold.
Just then, Lu Xingyao came over holding two tents.
Seeing him coming, the officers who had been unhappy just now became secretly excited, especially when they saw that he was holding a huge object in his hands, but they still had to pretend to be calm.
Lu Xingyao looked at their deadly expressions and said, "My lords, it is snowing heavily tonight. My grandfather ordered me to bring you two tents to keep you out of the wind and snow."
